His hourly rate is $13.75.
Let x be the hourly rate. Since he works 20 hours that week, the hourly wages are given by 20x. We add to that his commission, which is 16% of the $1500 in sales, or 0.16(1500). This totals to 515:
20x + 0.16(1500) = 515
20x + 240 = 515
Subtract 240 from both sides:
20x + 240 - 240 = 515 - 240
20x = 275
Divide both sides by 20:
20x/20 = 275/20
x = 13.75.
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.
For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to:

Through zero property we know that the factor

can be equal to zero as well as

. This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.
The zero product property is best applied to
factorable quadratic equations in this case.
Another factorable equation would be

since we can factor out

and end up with

. Now we'll end up with two factors,

and

, which we can apply the zero product property to.
The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.
Yeah it really be like that sometimes, you gotta try girl
This is the isosceles triangle. Therefore, the angles at the base are congruent.
We know that the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:

<em>subtract 38 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 2</em>
